Why not a liquid cooler, i've seen them pretty much everywhere in the past few months

On another thread i've seen recommendation for aio due to 105 tdp

[fading briar]

yeah 105w?

a basic air cooler can do that

here is one reason to not get a AIO

Alr and if i plan to Upgrade in 1 year to am5 would i have to Upgrade the cooler aswell?

[fading briar]

[sleek axle]

What the hell is that

[fading briar]

Milk

Its something that happens to aios some times

[sleek axle]

The coolant turns into milk?

[fading briar]

yeah kinda

[tidal hearth]

Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 u can pick rgb or normal

[tidal hearth]

thats thermal paste

[fading briar]

what???

it does not even look close to thermal paste

[tidal hearth]

well idk what you did to manage to screw something like that up

[fading briar]

What do you mean you did?

I never opened it up before

Just a normal off the shelf aio after a year

Ita not the moat common thing but it happens

[atomic juniper]

Same thing happens to cars. Leak in the head gasket (or aio seal in this case) and it evaporates

[sleek axle]

Yeah but I mean usually that seal gets broken because you're like irresponsible, you red line the car or you just simply don't take care of it

Since AIOs are sort of advertised and just install and it works, they shouldn't do that

And rarely anyone ever services an aio

[hoary cradle]

geth the air cooler

I never use AIOs because of unreliability

[fading briar]

MILK
